143 Acres of Prime Hunting Propert

Farm Description

Wikipedia calls the Land of Oz a magical country that is very vast. When you step off the beaten path on this farm there is something that feels magical. Steep ridges run from the North and stop on the property creating lookouts over the Elk River Bottom. These ridges are a part of a bigger network of terrain and timber known as the Sycamore Valley. These giant blocks of privately owned land create the scenario that big buck hunters are looking for. Extensive long term management of the deer herd has been conducted on this property as well as the neighboring land. Weighing in at 143 acres this farm fights like a heavy weight.

A creek runs through the valley between two ridges and leaves behind fertile soils that are currently being used for conventional farming and food plots. The new owner can continue to rent the agricultural land to a local tenant as a part of a crop share or cash rent program. This would add to the return on the investment that is created by the two wells on the property. Even in a time of low gas and oil prices the income from the mineral lease is nothing to scoff at.

Hunters travel from across the country to hunt deer in Kansas. The myth or local joke is that every hunter thinks that there is a Booner behind every tree. The facts are that even in big buck states across the midwest you have to fine tune where you spend your time. Hunters are often admired for their harvest and make no mistake about it takes skill to shoot big bucks. However, hunters should appreciate the land in which those big deer are harvested on. This is a farm that a hunter would want to log as many hours as possible in the fall. There are great places to establish ambushes for rifle hunters, but the way it sets up for archery is most impressive. The immense amount of cover and structure that connect to this tract of land will make it a travel through spot during the rut. One can expect a resident deer herd as well as an incredible amount of transient traffic through out all stages of the Kansas rut.

As wild and remote as this property feels it is actually not far from civilization. The Southern border is a black top road that runs to Highway 75 to the East and can take you to Elk City Lake a few miles to the West and South. Utilities are on site and there is a great place to put a home or cabin in the Southeast corner. This would not interfere with the hunting on the property.

Turkeys are regularly spotted strutting in the agriculture fields and there is no shortage opportunities to hunt small game. Elk City Lake is near by and provides a multitude of recreational opportunities for the outdoorsman/woman as well as for their families. A total of six hiking trails surround the lake, 50 miles of shoreline, 4,500 acres of water, and nearly another 8,000 acres of public hunting provide endless opportunities. There are multiple camp grounds that are ready for your travel trailer or Rv. They are equipped with power and water as well as other amenities.
